"There will be days where life does not throw you any type of curve ball. No helping hands, no guiding lights, no hidden signs, nothing. You are in it on your own, and you have to dins your way out of the situations you are in. Where at first glance this is misleading, it is nothing but a reminder of how strong and capable you are. You can get yourself out of anything, you can fight until there is no fight left , your intuition is your guide. You can stand tall in any situation. You are strong."
- guiding light by Amy Kennedy
Starting off with such a strong quote like that is something that I thought was perfect for this post. In this type of life we have to all be able to be strong in order to survive and get through everything that is thrown at us. Not everyone has the ability to be this strong, there are often times where individuals feel as though they cannot keep going. You may know a person who knows a person who feels this way, you may personally know this person or maybe that individual person is yourself. I am a strong advocate for suicide prevention and I always have been. This issue is something that has to be addressed at all times. Often times people don't acknowledge the feelings of others and how heavily they are influenced by everyday situations. Not everyone has the ability to handle each day with no issue and those individuals need the support to keep going.
I know many people have seen the show "13 reasons why" and I feel like that show depicted exactly what goes on, an individual may be suffering and no body realizes or they do realize and nobody knows how to take action to help; and that has to change. Everyone should know the steps to help someone in this situation it should not be something that is pushed to the side. I hosted a campaign in my high school for suicide prevention to highlight issues such as sexual harassment, substance abuse, suicide, perception, etc. All of these issues and situations were shown in the show and instead of just speaking about them during the campaign I was able to show and create an understanding about each. Having the knowledge about these situations are important!
If you know about these issues and the steps to take to help someone make sure you share it! STAY WOKE! Help someone & save a life 💜
